RVRX··on Keifu – A TUI for navigating commit graphs with color and clarity
Serves a bit of a different purpose - but for working with git in the terminal I'm a big LazyGit fan - https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

I use it in neovim with https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

RVRX··on Zoom outage caused by accidental 'shutting down' of the zoom.us domain
The domain status on the whois record was "serverHold" earlier in the day
RVRX··on Zoom outage caused by accidental 'shutting down' of the zoom.us domain
"This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. "
RVRX··on Flipping Pages: New Linux vulnerability in nf_tables and exploitation techniques
Can you help me with reading that page? What's the difference between the `linux-kvm` vs `linux-hwe-6.5`? They both list different release fixes for Jammy, 5.15.0-101.111 and 6.5.0-26.26 respectively.

Edit: Oh it looks like the generic kernel is the one named just "linux" and also has 5.15.0... as the patched version on Jammy

RVRX··on A genetic study has revised the narrative about how wine grapes spread
This is more along the lines of what I was expecting lol
RVRX··on Visa, Mastercard Prepare to Raise Credit-Card Fees
I believe only Mass and one other state have laws preventing extra charges for credit cards, and they are only targeted at larger companies. At least in MA, if you are a smaller company using a 3rd party payment processor/POS (like Toast), you are allowed to push the credit card fee they charge you onto the consumer.
RVRX··on Duck DNS
As much as I appreciate what they offer at no cost, I have experienced more downtime from their service then I would like. My Uptime Kuma dashboard reports a 99.98% 30-day uptime from their service (mainly small 1-2min down-times every couple of weeks), but I have experienced at least one 7ish hour period a few months back where no duckDNS queries were resolving for any domains I checked. And I never found any official source giving a reason or even acknowledging this this outage. Again, free service, I do appreciate what they offer.

RVRX··on Firefox has surpassed Chrome on Speedometer
> Only very rarely (every few months) am I forced to use Chrome for a site - and in my view, that's a huge ding on the site devs, not on Firefox.

I find this very common with Credit Card and Banking Sites. Very often they either refuse to log me in or log me out sooner than they should on Firefox, or certain pages within the site will just not load. I'm guessing they prioritize security, and only test this stuff in Chrome ;(

RVRX··on Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?
https://www.rvrx.dev/blog/ Early career Dev, just redid my website and started my blog. Newest post was on implementing a safe Wireguard Kill-Switch on Ubuntu
RVRX··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2023)
FYI, Had trouble getting to your resume. It appears the link you gave is missing the "www." and there is no auto-redirect from "martyrudolf.com" to "www.martyrudolf.com"
RVRX··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2023)
Love the ASCII art and whole design of your homepage!

Are you interested in hiring any Junior/Entry lvl devs?
RVRX··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2023)
The only non-remote Engineering role is "New Grad 2023 | Software Engineer - Backend ", (even though the frontend version of the role is remote) is that a mistype or intentional?
RVRX··on Diskless infrastructure in beta (System Transparency: stboot) (2022)
Mullvad offers flat rate $5 (no matter 1 month or 12 months or 120 months) and never have any sales so I'm surprised to see these[1] prepaid amazon cards ARE offering discounts: 12mo @ $4.75/mo & 6mo @ $4.83/mo esp. when these are /physical/ code-card purchases

RVRX··on Six charged in mass takedown of DDoS-for-hire sites
IMO most of their customer demographic is the edgy online teenager who wants to mess with someone on the internet, not adults or companies going after any businesses or the like.

Just look at the ADs to these sites that are super flashy and cool to cater to these teens

Edit: Example ADs: https://i.imgur.com/PjqG7dC.gif https://i.imgur.com/ebp4ERm.gif https://i.imgur.com/kTM3fAA.gif

RVRX··on Six charged in mass takedown of DDoS-for-hire sites
TBF these sites have been up for years, I recognize some from >decade ago, so it took quite some time for the law to catch up to them. They've probably taken in quite a bit of cash since their inception.
RVRX··on Six charged in mass takedown of DDoS-for-hire sites
Back when I was a teenager I used to come across these sites all the time when playing with Skype-to-IP revolvers. I just checked, and I'm surprised Google actually still shows these sites when you search for them. Most of them have partner links to these DDoS sites, many of which are on this list of takedowns.
RVRX··on Getting Started with Tmux
iTerm2 actually offers nice interfacing with tmux. If you run `tmux -CC` it will start a tmux session that iTerm abstracts away letting you split and switch panes as you normally would in iTerm, but still allowing you to join the tmux session on another terminal.

RVRX··on “Privacy”.com–Yeah Right
They actually don't let me use my primary email as they specifically don't allow accounts to use a Yandex email. They said the reasoning was to prevent non-US citizens from creating accounts, and that I would have to use another email address...
